Over the years, the BIC has also contributed to international discourses on peace and security, the well-being of children, human rights, freedom of religion or belief, the role of religion in society, sustainable development, humanity’s relationship with the natural world, and youth, among other issues. It has drawn attention to the persecution of Baháʼís, particularly in Iran, through reports, statements, and sustained engagement that have brought this situation before the UN Human Rights Council and the General Assembly.
Across those areas of engagement, the BIC has increasingly brought to these conversations not only policy considerations, but more fundamental questions: What underlying relationships, capacities, and cultural patterns make justice and equality achievable in the first place?
